Puerto Rico

Old classic colonial architecture and an energetic Hispanic spirt combine to make Puerto Rico truly a unique gem of the Caribbean islands. Puerto Rico has plenty of first world amenities and modern conveniences to make all sorts of travelers feel at home. Puerto Rico can seem like a bit of a contradiction with old brick colonial building just next to modern street food and small quaint shops. Puerto Rico has something for everyone from cave exploring to casinos, beaches or hiking in the mountains. Come see and experience Puerto Rico for yourself!

Although Puerto Rico has many domestic and a few international airports most travellors will be arriving via the SJU Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in the city of San Juan. Receiving an average of about 28 flights a day this is Puerto Rico’s busiest airport. Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is located in Isla Verde and area about 10 miles north east of San Juan. Nearby can easily be found taxi, buses, and airport shuttles places around the city and elsewhere.
